http://www.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp/en/ Keywords Understanding of Nature, View of Nature, Mysteries in Nature Faculty of Science In the Faculty of Science, education and research in relation to science are carried out. Science is a scholarship to search for the fundamentals and laws of the natural world through a dialogue with nature. Many of our motives for research arise out of genuine interest and the wisdom that human beings have gathered since time immemorial. Sometimes such understanding of nature is immediately applied to the real world, at other times it brings about drastic changes in our lives over a long span of time. For example, let us look at quantum mechanics that describes the world on the micro-scale. This field derives from the search through genuine interest in atomic structure, the true nature of light and so on. The results of such quests produced fruitful results; through the understanding of the behavior of electrons in materials, semiconductor technologies and computer technologies have been created, and further, the modern information-based society was developed. Quantum mechanics clarified the true nature of chemical bonds and brought about understanding of nanoscale molecular structures and chemical reactions. Based on such understanding we are able to develop various functional materials. Now we are surrounded by products that are outcomes of such quests in quantum mechanics. Meanwhile, the concept of molecular structures is extended to include organisms and, triggered by the discovery of the double helix structure of DNA, a technological explosion in biotechnology occurred. Were it not for the studies in quantum mechanics, many of the conveniences we enjoy today would not be available. The importance of science lies not only in the creation of knowledge basic to technical applications. Our understanding of nature also forms the basis of our views of nature as well as the universe. It teaches us the importance of living in harmony with nature and sometimes it gives us insight in dealing with the forces of nature. The development of science enriches our view of nature and motivates us to carve out a better future. There are many mysteries in nature. Those who intend to learn science should have a large-scale dream such as “I want to solve this mystery” and acquire strong abilities to solve the mystery through learning science.

http://www.a.u-tokyo.ac.jp/english/index.html Keywords Agriculture, Bio-, Environment, Food, Veterinary, Aquatic Undergraduate — Senior Division Faculty of Agriculture Agricultural science covers a surprisingly wide spectrum of research activities. The fields of research and education in this science are arable land, forests and aquatic environments. We study life processes of animals, plants and microorganisms, making full use of techniques in the natural and social sciences. In the 21st century, the key challenge for agricultural science is to develop a system to continuously harvest nature’s bounty. Through its original course/major system, the Faculty aims at nurturing and training students who can tackle this challenge. The Faculty of Agriculture is largely divided into three Courses: the Applied Life Sciences, the Environmental Resources Sciences, and the Veterinary Medical Sciences. Students in the Applied Life Sciences Course learn about life processes related to plant and animal life from molecular and cellular levels to individual and group levels. This Course is further divided into six majors according to the specialized fields covered. The Environmental Resources Sciences Course, which is divided into eight majors, deals with issues of food, resources and regional development through science and technology involving environmental conservation and planning. The Veterinary Medical Sciences Course aims at understanding life processes and diseases of animals and trains students in veterinary medicine and public health. This six-year Course comprises a single major. The undergraduate students admitted belong to one of these 15 majors. Under this educational system, students learn subjects common to agricultural sciences, and systematically receive step by step education attaining a high level of specialization. Field Science is also studied utilizing affiliated facilities such as the Institute for Sustainable Agro-ecosystem Services located in Nishitokyo City and seven university forests from Furano, Hokkaido, in the north to Aichi in the south. We also have a wide variety of field educational facilities including the Veterinary Medical Center, Animal Resource Science Center, and the Fisheries Laboratory. Giant gingko trees on Yayoi Campus.
